Kathleen has championed several initiatives that have moved the City of Clearwater forward and improved transparency, operational efficiencies, and business-friendly initiatives – and she is running for Mayor to continue this important work. She puts the safety and vibrancy of neighborhoods first, is a consistent advocate for lowering home-related costs for residents, and has been a leader on improving the health and resiliency of the people of Clearwater.

She has been civically engaged throughout her entire life and has been an active volunteer in every community she’s lived in. She worked as a public school teacher in Illinois while raising her three children, and when she and her husband Bryan moved to Clearwater in 2016 she immediately got involved in community activities. She volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and the Suncoast Sierra Club, and went through training to become a Guardian ad Litem for Pinellas County Courts. 

Kathleen has the experience and passion to be the next Mayor of Clearwater, and she can win this race. We’re so proud to be behind her, and hope that you’ll join us in supporting her by making a contribution to her campaign or signing up to volunteer. 

Together,

Cassidy Whitaker, Political Director
